Allhands: Stop looking deeper into Trump’s Second Amendment comment

While repeating his made-up claim that Clinton wants to abolish gun rights, he casually hinted that the “2nd Amendment people” could stop her and any of her appointed Supreme Court justices. Trump weathered criticism within his own party for delaying endorsements of fellow Republicans and for a prolonged clash with the family of a fallen Muslim American U.S. Army captain. “It was just a dumb remark …” “And there can be no other interpretation”.

John Negroponte, former director of national intelligence under President George W. Bush, and former Republican U.S. Rep. Chris Shays of CT were among those that announced their support on Wednesday. In contrast, if Clinton were elected, Napolitano said, “I would rest easy at night knowing she was making the kinds of judgments a president is called on to make”.

In addition, several Republican National Committee staffers have all left the organization in recent weeks, specifically citing Trump’s increasingly erratic rhetoric.

A source close to the Democratic presidential nominee says she will release them in “the coming days”.

That’s not how the Democrat and some Republicans have interpreted it, however.

“And this year, they will be voting in record numbers, and it won’t be for Hillary Clinton, it will be for Donald Trump”.

First, here are the Trump words that started everything, delivered Tuesday at a rally in Wilmington, North Carolina.

“Hillary wants to essentially abolish the Second Amendment”.

“I’ve sat across the table with Hillary Clinton eye-to-eye, and when you’re working outside of staff and outside of the press she is somebody I can work with”, King said during a speech at The Des Moines Register’s Political Soapbox at the Iowa State Fair.

Then he added ambiguously: “Although the Second Amendment people, maybe there is – I don’t know”.

Donald Trump is defending his decision to label President Barack Obama the “founder” of the Islamic State group.

Former Rep. Christopher Shays (R-Conn.) has abandoned Trump, too..

“There is tremendous political power to save the Second Amendment, tremendous”, the NY businessman said.

Trump’s words, and his campaign’s responses to them, are nothing less than risky.

Even the Secret Service said it “aware of the comment”.

Carlos Gutierrez, who worked as commerce secretary under George W. Bush, will support Hillary Clinton.

Also look for Clinton to argue that Trump’s drive to cut taxes on certain business income would in fact benefit many of his companies.

Mr Trump, 70, presented the Federal Election Commission with a mandatory personal financial disclosure form in May and says this is enough. The Senator was referring to Clinton’s ability to lead the military and said the President would need protection if he visited North Carolina’s military bases.

Trump rode such events to great success in the primaries, when each of Trump’s eyebrow-raising statements – including a moment when he appeared to mock a disabled journalist and his repeated retelling of a debunked story about USA soldiers dipping bullets in pig’s blood – earned him a tremendous amount of attention and carried little electoral outcome.
